Why is it a big mistake? The eyes+hair look like 'leftovers' from her zerg transformation. Maybe they'll use it in the story even, that it wasn't removed 100% and she can still somewhat communicate with the Zerg.

Well at least imo showing how the character is in HOTS (when its probably the biggest mistery) is kind of a mistake, considering the event is 5-6 months away

Its like when I went to WWI and the "big" and "surprise" announcement was Diablo III, yet the first thing you saw when you were approaching the venue was a huge diablo on the wall....

You know, the red hair for kerrigan did it alot more than the zerg dreadlocks.

Regardless, I am looking forward to the announcements that will be made at Blizzcon.

She looks okay, though i hope she gets infested again (this would be bad plot, but i would like it :D)
and did you notice that kerrigan hadn't glowing eyes in the end cinematic? maybe this artwork shows, how kerrigan is mutating back again into the queen of blades?

She looks more like she did in the original Starcraft, which is a big win for me. Plus she has dreads. Which are actually freaky zerg hair.

Anyway that's just concept art. She might just keep looking the way she did in WoL.

Could be because hair is dead anyway so it wasn't needed to be removed *shrug*

if you are a ghost, battling every day against zerg, you won't have 4 cm long fingernails, but hey, it's just blizzard :D

oh, i forgot to mention, that kerrigan has lipstick on the new artwork :D

Well you know, she also has cloak, so maybe she's just being really nonchalant about battling against the zerg and does it with lipstick and painted fingernails.

I really hope that the HotS campaign is both significantly longer and is more difficult/has more difficulty settings than the original.

It really sucked how the biggest solo challenge barely lasted a day before people cracked it, if that.

it IS sc2. (glowing eyes, the hair is definetly kerrigan) the suit is the same as everyone ghost has, just orange. (tosh had red lines, but it's kinda minor aspect) Kerrigan is a powerful psionic and she can, as you maybe saw in the "the prophecy" video, demonstrate it in form of glowing stuff like explosions etc.
Titan won't be announced before 2014, official statement, it's kinda old

Beat me to it.

At first I thought it was for the new Titan game but realised when there where Diablo, warcraft but no Starcraft and recognised the Zergy hair and ghost suit.

Still it at least confirms a HOTS announcement of some kind.

Not a fan of the new look though I must say but whatever I play for multiplayer more than single it's just a bonus for me.

She's a psionic, which is sc2's version of a mage. She even casts a few spells in the campaign. Her suit is also orange, which is her colour. Her special forces are orange, her spells are orange, even her model is tinted orange.

Well if Activision has any say, it'll be out by end of calendar year this year. Not fiscal (end of march) but calendar >.> I think March/April is more realistic for 2012.

Her suit had green colours on Brood War. She uses "blue-white" spells against Zeratul in the cinematics.

Not exactly what I was hoping for. Kinda wanted a relapse for Kerrigan considering that we will be playing zerg.

Want the story the most, couldn't really care about the images.

If it comes out in April 2012 I will fail all my IB exams, it won't be good....

Doesn't detract from the fact that all her ingame attributes are orange.

It's just concept art though. Wouldn't hold judgment over this until we've seen the ingame/cinematic model.

Lots of people saying that she looks bad and I kinda agree with them. But I also have a feeling that this artwork just isn't very good, I think she will look a lot better ingame!

Anyway this has made me really exited for HOTS! I think it's going to be awesome!

You forgot its neosteel they're using up there not ordinary steel but yeah you got a point there. Kaiser blades from an ultra will work maybe.

Whoever said she got a ton of influence from the designers that made Deathwing from WoW, I totally agree.

Agreed.

While the artwork itself isn't very good(pose doesn't look natural, "hair" does not look at all like how it did in the ending cinematic for WoL or when she was infested), the design isn't very good either. Blizzard seems to be forgetting that, shock and surprise, soldiers wear ARMOR. When she was infested, they could afford to have her outfit be form-fitting because it was an exoskeleton, but every ghost in the series has at least had some actual armor. What she has now is basically a TRON suit made of spandex.

I have to find it really frustrating that Blizzard is subscribing to the idea that every female character needs to be so blatantly sexy, which is in pretty stark contrast to their female characters in SC1/Warcraft 1-3. Hopefully Selendis will get some more screen time and be the badass female SC2 hasn't had so far. >_>

On a side note, where the hell did the orange come from? She had orange eyes when infested(in SC2 anyway), sure, but the Artifact's pulse was blue, her psionic abilities have always been a light blue... I guess they got it from Char? Maybe?

Dissapointed with the direction of the character overall.

Its like "well in starcraft 1 a unique and tragic story was developed and this created a main character for zerg storylines... so we're gonna just take that back I don't know what we were thinking"

Well a while ago Activison said that strong female characters don't sell games... I guess Blizzard agrees. =/

I'll withhold full judgement until I see how she is as a character, but I'm guessing she'll be Raynor's love interest first, fanservice second, and former Queen Bitch of the Universe third.

I'm more inclined to think that she started looking badass (SC1, w/ dreads, no-nonsense, gaunt looks)
, then went even more bad ass when infested. Really despised how they depicted normal Kerrigan in SC2 as all cutesy. Now it looks like they've avoided going down that pathway though.

I wouldn't expect Kerrigan to look anything like this in HOTS. It would make sense to me that someone on the team was tasked with creating the Blizzcon banner/logo and used an art style he wanted to have fun with.

I'll put my reply in spoilers, for those who don't want to know.

+ Show Spoiler +
From what i've read and seen, the campaign is going to focus on Kerrigan getting control back over the swarm, since from what we've seen in WoL, the death of Kerrigan allows the hybrids to take over the zerg. It stands to reason that without Kerrigan as the leader, the hybrids will still have the ability to take them over.

That is atleast what I got out of the campaign and various spoilers online


The pic is very well drawn, not exactly what I see as Kerrigan, but it's well drawn. It is essentially fan art, though drawn by a blizz employee. It could simply be a way to make Kerrigan recognizable. The hair and eyes show it is her, wearing a ghost/spectre outfit. She could have been the infested, but the story puts her as "deinfested" at this time, so it could just be that.

i noticed something in this new art: the anatomy is wrong (?) look at the placement of her head and the placement of her boobs and the rest of the body. the boobs and the rest of the body are quite proportional, but why is the head laid back like this? look at the distance from the boobs to her head, isn't it to big?

I think/hope that Kerrigan is obviously no longer infested, but retains a connection/control with limited Zerg, and that she TURNS EVIL--not because she's infested, but just because after the Overmind died, she already turned herself evil on her own without anyone else influencing her(SC:BW).

I don't know what I'll do if Kerrigan isn't backstabbing everyone in the campaign. Cry, maybe?

Eh, all the female character models in WoL were really, really plain compared to the male characters. Characters like Raynor and Tychus had such detailed countenances, while all the females like that unimportant doctor, Kerrigan, Nova all looked alike, with plastic faces and lifeless eyes. So I don't really have faith that this cartoon concept will have a better outcome in HotS.

She's hot but I still prefer the original human Kerrigan. The original human Kerrigan was a little less "perfect" in her curves but that was part of what made her sexy. She was hot but she was not one of these dime-a-dozen forced-down-your-throat zero personality action girls that Hollywood and modern western media in general keep pushing.

I don't mind Kerrigan being made human again, although I haven't played SC2 yet so I don't know how well the campaign was executed (from what I hear, it wasn't), but I do mind having a character that was so original devolve into a cliched mess.

What ever happened to queen bitch of the universe?

Jimmy assembled a Xel'Naga artifact and used it after landing an invasion force on Char. The Artifact destroyed the vast majority of zerg on the planet, but largely de-infested Kerrigan(she still had zerg tentacles for hair, which look much better in the cinematic than in the art in the OP) for... some reason. Him, Tychus, and a handful of nameless marines found her naked(with long and perfectly manicured nails, of course) in a cave. Jimmy then carried her off in his arms, and for some reason the supposedly superheated and toxic atmosphere of Char didn't kill her outright. Overall, it was really fucking stupid.

Please please please don't let a 14 year old write the story this time. Some real choices emotions and sacrifice instead of the most predictable bland kids cartoon/soap opera. The original didn't have 3 billion dollar cgi of roid rage'd men and playboy plastic women, the story was told in looping animated portrait and it was still more compelling and engaging. It had political intrigue, friendship, duty, sacrifice, and good blizzard style humor. Remember when fenix died? Both times? Those were very powerful moments for me in the SC universe. (lol at raynor just ignoring it this time around) Kerrigan killing the executor and in the BW protoss mission or Duke defecting? Alexi? Tassadar? Stories that were at once large scale and personal. What did SC2 WoL have? Most of the characters only existed to spew (well voice acted) lines, no before or after.

+ Show Spoiler +
That pretty boy son of Mengsk? By the time I got to the reveal I didn't care. It would of been more a much more effective revelation if the news stories talked about the "wayward son' a little bit. Choices between 2 ghosts? One character wasn't even developed. And in the end we never hear about the consequences of the choices in story mode. Only decent choice was the scientist and protoss eradicator fleet and even that wasn't followed up on. Blizzard could of just added some text screens in the end for each of the possible choices and it would of made the story much better and cost less than 10 frames of Raynor pretending he's a deep character by drinking.


Sorry for the text, but I am a really big fan of the original single player campaign and the story it told. I was really disappointed with SC2 missions and hope they do better now that the game and engine are both mature. Sometimes less is more blizzard.

Wow I can't believe how many horny teenagers are here discussing (and solely focusing) on how hot she looks, or if they would have sex with her... don't you guys find that a bit sad? Well I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

Either way, I think she looks fine... as someone else said, hopefully they make the story good, but I saw the potentially leaked ending to HOTS and it was god awful. Hopefully that wasn't the actual ending, or they will change it.

Lots of people are upset with the Starcraft 2 campaign. It's not surprising though. You have to come to expect it from the internet.


I liked the campaign, and I really like the deinfestation idea in general. Its execution was a little meh, but the overall idea is really cool. I think a lot of people are upset with it because they wanted Jimmy to run up to Kerrigan and then go "Kerrigan, I love you" and then for her to smash his face in and split his body in half while laughing and then take over the universe. The Starcraft Brood War ending was absolutely terrible. "Kerrigan wins... The End" and yet its campaign was loved everywhere... why?

I think it is probably based in some sort of fetish for strong infested alien women dominating the universe or something. So if you deinfest Kerrigan AND stop her from taking over the universe and killing everyone, then it is like a double blow to those kind of people, hence the rage.

actually, it would be a better ending if the "helpless" kerrigan killed raynor and let the other marines flee (dunno how, but she managed to pull of the weapons from tychus, so she won't be killed)
but noooooo, we have the "knight in shinig armor routine" (if kerrigan called the situation like this, don't remember) And what with the Protoss? Do the Terrans have more courage than the Protoss?
Kinda strange that the protoss don't care for their safrifices. So why hadn't the Zerg any consequences? why didn't arrive a massive protoss fleet upon char? is the fleet of the Terrans bigger, or do the Protoss just don't care about Kerrigan (okay, she killed so many protoss that thy would have to care, but Blizzard scrapped that)

So, with Raynor beeing dead and the Invasion beeing stopped, Kerrigan is physically weak now and a massive Protoss fleet is approaching upon Char to take an end to this mess. In the Zerg campaign, you have Kerrigan, first escaping fromChar, loosing the Planet and gathering the Zerg that didn't manage to return to Char while the Invasion. The time is running out, because the little Groups of zerg are mindless now and will be killed, so you have to be fast and take control over them all, before they'll be wiped out. Of course, the Protoss are following her and Mengsk don't knows, if Kerrigan was dead or deinfested.

So, now some spoiler, because it's has something to do with the leaked ending + Show Spoiler +
Somehow, kerrigan mutates in the end of the Campaign to the Queen of blades back again and invades with a small number korhal. now, she alone has to infiltrate Mengsk builing and kill him personally. The mission is succesfull, mengsk is dead. (he hadn't the device he used in the end of hots and raynor was dead, so Kerrigan kills him alone)THe majority of the zerg is dead, the dominion has fallen and the protoss are still following her.


in legacy of the void, the darkvoice comes to orhal to, meeting the protoss and a battle starts, the fleet loses against the swarm of the darkvoice, Kerrigan escapes again, nobody knows where she is now. in lotv you have to find a way to kill the Darkvoice, so you need Kerrigan again (yes i know, kerigan is always needed ---> zeratul said, only she can kill the darkvoice) so the protoss have to gather thier forces and need to find/ally with kerrigan to stop the darkvoice and blah, tired of posting now.

Don't think you would like to have something similar in hots/lotv, but i just hate the ending of wol

Sorry for the massive amount of misspelling.

blizzard leaked that deliberate to make us think that's what's gonna happen, when in fact the full video will show that this is simply Raynor's WET DREAM after rescuing Kerrigan.

not so dissapointed!

White Tosh with tits?
Disgusted.

More like a sexy magic girl with sexy alien hair and a hot body.

Ever since I was accidentally exposed to a Spanish dub of the Species movies when I was in middle school, I've had an "interest" in sexy alien girls.

Dunno if it was wise to reveal that to the public.

(off topic) you don't have to point out you're in IB in all your messages. Makes you sound pompous. And don't worry, from personal experience, IB exams aren't as hard as you think they will be. (/off topic)

I guess this Kerrigan pic confirms you'll be playing as Zerg in HOTS but a zerg force that is controlled by Raynor's forces via Kerrigan. That's what it says to me anyway.

Even if that is her it's not really anything new since she looks like this in the end video as well so really nothing too new.
I think the biggest problem with SC2s story is that the overmind allready died and with him dying kerrigan got the lead and in my opinion just sucks;).
So having the Overmind die was a great end for SC1 but a terrible thing for if you want to continue the SC story;).
Just my opinion.

I think it's going to be a big drama between Nova, Kerrigan and the Doctor on who Raynor likes best!!


No, but serious I like the concept It's a good one and I have hopes for Heart of the Swarm. I think Kerrigan will remain in control of atleast parts of the swarm. But I think the "Queens" will be the new masters of the Zerg. Maybe more factions within the Zerg again.... Or maybe the idea is to evolve Zerg into something the "Darkmind" can't control and only a "free" Kerrigan can do that?

not a fan of the fire coming out of the hand... what's with that? is she a mage?

The face doesn't look right either, the nose or something... It just doesn't look like kerrigan. Pretty disappointed... Hope they work on the concept a bit more.

Its like when I went to WWI and the "big" and "surprise" announcement was Diablo III, yet the first thing you saw when you were approaching the venue was a huge diablo on the wall....


What mistery? We all say what happened to Kerrigan at the end of WoL. And since HotS will follow the Zerg point of view it makes sense that they show a glimpse of the main character. Were you expecting an Overlord as key image to HotS?

Lots of people are upset with the Starcraft 2 campaign. It's not surprising though. You have to come to expect it from the internet.


I liked the campaign, and I really like the deinfestation idea in general. Its execution was a little meh, but the overall idea is really cool. I think a lot of people are upset with it because they wanted Jimmy to run up to Kerrigan and then go "Kerrigan, I love you" and then for her to smash his face in and split his body in half while laughing and then take over the universe. The Starcraft Brood War ending was absolutely terrible. "Kerrigan wins... The End" and yet its campaign was loved everywhere... why?

I think it is probably based in some sort of fetish for strong infested alien women dominating the universe or something. So if you deinfest Kerrigan AND stop her from taking over the universe and killing everyone, then it is like a double blow to those kind of people, hence the rage.

The Broodwar campaign was interesting and had quite a lot of depth. How often do the bad guys win in a videogame? That gives the sequals a lot more tension, because the gamers know that the standard clichés don't always apply. That's why I was quite dissapointed with the "fairy tale"-like quality of WoL. The ending of Kerrigan taking over the universe was radical and it seems many people don't think it was addressed properly in the sequel.

Just because Kerrigan is no longer infested does not mean she is going to return to being a Terran Ghost from this point forward. I haven't seen any HOTS story leaks but it's possible that Kerrigan will still be the main leader of the Zerg forces you control, who if the WoW story is of any indication, might become the Zerg equivalent of the Forsaken.

I would hope Blizzard isn't that transparent, of course, but a simple prediction for the new story would be that the Terran start trying to use Kerrigan as their pet Overmind (again), which Kerrigan initially goes along with but decides at some point to break off into her own independent faction, neither allied with the main Zerg Swarm or the Terrans, but willing to work with them to fight off the Return of the Xel'Naga. In this case you'd still be fighting Terran and Protoss (who'll be looking to eliminate all those tainted by the Zerg, including Kerrigan), which would make sense in a Zerg storyline.

What I'm more curious about, though, is who will be leading the remnants of the old Zerg swarm now that Kerrigan is gone. Given that you'll probably play as a Cerebrant, you'll either by under the new controller of the old swarm or Kerrigan's break-off swarm, possibly even both as in the old BW. Course, I'm hoping for more twists than that.

"Bad endings" are pretty standard in Blizzard games, possibly due to planned follow-ups.

In Warcraft I, the canon ending was that the Orcs (the evil side in Warcraft I) took over Azeroth. This is so that Warcraft II can start with Lordaeron under siege by the Orcs.

In Warcraft III, the canon ending (ie TFT, the last Warcraft III installment) was that Arthas becomes the Lich King and begins his campaign to scourge the world. This is so that World of Warcraft can start with Arthas threatening the world.

In Diablo I, the canon ending was that the "hero" kills Diablo but then becomes possessed by him, leading to the resurrection of the Three Evils. This is so that Diablo II can start with Diablo and his brothers returning to the world.

In BW, the canon ending of Kerrigan becoming the Queen of Blades set the stage for SC 2. The BW ending parallels Arthas becoming the Lich King in TFT, and both are redressed in the follow-ups, with Arthas being slain in WoW: WOTLK and Kerrigan being defeated and deinfested in SC 2: WOL.

No, the kerrigan in the leaked ending looked like the standard queen of blades in wol... spikes, her wings and shit

The "big" spoiler in this pic is (the most people don't care :D) is that she wears terran ghost armor. nothing special but it has a story behind it
There are a few possibilities why the kerri has terran armor.
1. she doesn't want to run around naked
2. she "feels" like a terran again, her body isn't infested (as it was in the end of wol) and it remained this way, so she's "living" among terrans and did not return to the swarm
3. Kerrigan doesn't give a fuck - why don't run in ghost armor among zerglings and overlords?

And how can Kerrigan live as a human again? she killed more than 8 billion people, everyone will try to kill her (because they think that de-infested kerrigan is no longer able to make fire on her hands, crushing battlecruisers etc.)

Bbad endings are pretty standard in Blizzard games, that's true. But in general they're very rare. That's one of the reasons I love Blizzard. It just feels like they got away from that in WoL and WC3.

I reckon she will maintain her psionic contact with the swarm, maybe being able to control zergs in close proximity or something like that. Probably revert to her status as ghost, but obviously not as just a soldier. Probably gonna be some part of the campaign that has her dealing with this split personality sort of thing.

It was pretty lame. You find out that "there must always be a Lich King" to control the Scourge and so after Arthas dies, someone took his place and the Scourge continues. The newest expansion to WoW, Cataclysm, goes down an entirely different storyline altogether, which presumably Blizzard will also do in the Protoss campaign.

So in Hots you have something like "there has to be a zerg leader"? so kerrigan dies (nooo!) and nova gets infested and will look almost like infested kerrigan did :D so after she gets infested she starts a massive invasion, because she feels betrayed and f***** and searches... for... xel naga artifacts?

The Queen of Blade from Brood War's Zerg campaign cinematic ending was perfect. If Blizzard wants a show girl, get Nova to do something plot relevant. Otherwise, give me the merciless Brood War Kerrigan back.



The characters changed so much...I miss the old Mengsk the most:

Sad... So much less sexy than either of the old kerrigans, IMO.


That's only a concept art dood. That doesn't mean that is her true look. Concepts are usually modified, because they're subjective.

Looks cool, managed to keep her psionic powers I see, poor Raynor :D

For the queen of the zerg she looks like an ugly lesbian now, NOT a fan... Specially since I know that blizzard can make cool looking characters I.E. original Kerrigan, Nova, Selendis, queen of blades.. I feel like they were going for the "ok we don't want sex appeal but we need to give her boobs because she's a mature woman after all, gogo galactic suffrage through unisex appeal" approach.. I understand that they don't want to make her a super model, but at least make her look regal if she is going to be ugly. Her face just looks dumb, not hard or cold, it's like fat. She looks like she should be sitting alone in the cafeteria of some high school in Iowa. Why did she get uglier after infestation if infestation is the perfecting of a being.. UGH BLIZ. I don't want her avatar, i'll keep the bad ass queen of blades one.

- The Zerg needs a Leader...
- The Protoss will hunt and/or protect her...

So it will probably be, that she uses some remaining zergs from char, and tries to build up her army again... Raynor will help her, but she'll get hunted down until she saves some people...
Later there will be a fight against the protoss, to test her skills, that she'll be the one defending against the hybrids... So the Protoss will see her as a messias...
The last part of the campaign will be the fall of Arcturus Mengsk...

There can be many possibilities, with separate endings or even complete separate storylines...
And the story goes on as the most people votes which ending is the most successful...

It won't be the same kind of campaign as in WoL, that's something stated long ago...
There is no such thing as coincidence...

Can't wait for HotS. But I do feel that Duran will be in it as one of the Zerg leaders, which imo sucks.
Still can't wait ^_^

LOL Socke=orc... he doesn't have the badass teeth though =/


Actually I always thought of Socke rather looking like a Zealot. It's really funny when on lan-tournaments the portrait windows are used for player cams, I when he's shown I always think "Oh look, he's a zealot, no doubt."

Really curious whether this is Kerrigan or just a Diablo character. Interesting find, thanks :D

I gotta agree, the infested kerrigan persona from BW (it changed a bit for WoL) along with the look they gave her was great. I'd be dissapointed if HotS was all pansy playing nice with the terran/protoss. the zerg as some patsies of raynor/zeratul or w/e would be extremely dissapointing.

I guess what I'm getting at is in SC1 you played VERY different sides of the conflict, I don't want SC2 to be completely consumed by a bunch of working together to beat the dark voice crap.

you mean story wise?....its called progression. You know how boring it would be if she was the same as the original?

graphic wise? ...you really like the loading graphic where kerrigan has an enormous head? That was horrible

Your hair is dead and ir it is actual hair it shouldnt be affected

( but my best guess would be that its like protoss nerve tendrils so really it isnt "zerg" its just really enhanced nerve ending)

Hm I wonder what exactly the Xel'Naga artifact did to her. Seems like shes the same minus the carapace and brainwashed need for violence and destruction. Still seems like shes half Zerg and half Human. I think its safe to assume that she can still control the Zerg and thats why Zeratul told Raynor that she was the key to beating the Xel'Naga.

Hmm...this is the first I'm seeing of the "new" Kerrigan and tbh I really don't like it, looks really cheapened up from that pic, but I'm sure Blizz will make it look sexy sweet by the time the game hit's, thanks for posting I didn't know they were releasing this stuff yet

Don't worry, they'll make Kerrigan look amazing by the time the game comes out.

And then make her lines horribly cringe-worthy, like so many things in WoL. They're doing things in the opposite of the original game: improve the graphics into something fantastic, but make the character dialogue clunky and cheesy. It's just the way things are; as long as you don't have high expectations, you will enjoy the single player for what it is, and be less critical of what it isn't.

I loved her look in the flashback cinematic. Don't think I'll love Kerri as much with dreads. White female Tosh is not a sexy look.

I imagine since this is supposed to be the second act in the 3 act story; it's going to end with something terribly bad happening that raises the stakes in the third part. And will have lots of Artanis please, I believe Selendis gets more screentime in WoL than Artanis, come to think of it what happened to that glowing orange man?

boring? you guys seem a bit picking....do you want your sc2 hots case to be gold plated? have a pair of boobs on them? Or maybe an korea girlfriend comes with the special edition?

I thought raynor shooting his old buddy in the face was a pretty good ending. Sure I think very highly of blizzard too but come on they are human too, They cant please everyone

I never expected to see so much disappointment in the new kerrigan...
She cant be the full Queen of Blades like the beginning...

She has to climb her way back up,
starting with zerglings, roaches, hyds...
Later with banelings, mutalisks and corrupters...

In the end with brood lords and ultralisks...
Depending on the flow of the game...

The more she reaches tier3 units, the more she gets her old zerg look back...
Maybe we can upgrade her in the Hatchery/Lair/Hive,
like we could upgrade the terran Units ;D

I'd love to do that ^^

Welcome back Kerrigan ♥

What? You saw her at the end of the game o_o I doubt they would have even started WoL without knowledge of how they wanted the story to progress into HotS and ..oh god i've forgotton the name of the protoss one.

Yeah, and with that lighting I couldn't tell what color her hair was, also the scene was very dusty - maybe when she takes a good bath she can get rid of these dark dreadlocks. About the concept, actually if you look at various pictures of her during WoL development, they aren't all very precise 1-to-1 illustrations of the final game concept. Blizzard rarely work with rigidly fixed conceptual plan, they try things and keep changing them (eg: the story with Tychus). They also use artistic work from independent non-emplyoees, when they like it, and those artists simply played the previous game and iterated their impression on that basis. Not all art that Blizz promotes is precisely in line with the actual game art, sometimes it's just inspired by it.

the concept is fine but I don't like the drawing. it's too featureless, pale and plain on the face and the proportions seem odd, though it may just be the shading.

She's only going to look like that temporarily while she regains her more zerglike traits over the course of the game. I have plenty of issues with where Blizzard has and might continue to take the plot of the Starcraft Universe, but this is not a major thing specifically because it is, "most likely" only temporary.

Generic, dull. Dollface. Evony play now discretely my lord. Really artwork I would expect with a crappy browsergame. I'm sorry but blizz has got to do better then that. The extreme to the max problem brought up in another thread.
I like how the broodwar characters had a slight comicbook feel but not too much.

Honestly, IMO, kerrigan looks ugly as hell in this picture. As much as how ugly kerrigan was while she was the queen of blades, she was hot as hell. Here, I think it's her hair tied up, but she looks really ugly...

What I want to know is why Raynor didn't mention his BEST FRIEND FENIX even once throughout the whole WoL campaign. That's a terrible oversight that needs to be corrected in HotS.

no, look at the hair and at the outfit: we have (n the official blizzconsite) as always characters form the 3 universe: diablo, warcraft and starcraft. if this is demo hunter, where's starcraft? Yes, i am sure that she is Kerrigan. cmon, the ghost armour and the zerg hair and the title "hots"(kerrigans campaign) shows it clearly...

Yeah, i had the same tought.
I just redone the BW campaign and Kerrigan killing Fenix was one of the main trigger for Raynor to go after her.

( btw, kerrigan was so clever during bw, i miss that. In WoL she look like a brainless in comparaison. )

The WoL campaign was mainly from the View of Jim Raynor...
We have to hope, that HotS show us the Kerrigan we think of...
Maybe it gets explained how she became to what she is now...
Maybe all is going according to her plans...

Lets hope guys ^^

It looks like she's gone emo, but then if you'd been betrayed, captured and infested by the zerg it's bound to make you feel a little grumpy.
I'd keep the faith though guys, they're unlikely to make the main character in the next expansion unattractive.

And he did go after her.

And then she and Zerg disappeared. And Raynor decided to fuck over Mengsk instead and become an alcoholic. Then time healed some of his wounds and made him forget the rage.
And then when he found out he can have her back as human (human Kerrigan was not guilty for Fenix death) he went for it. I got no clue why is this rather simple concept so hard to understand to people.

When I first looked at the link, I went, woaaahhhh, Russian? Then I realized it was a EU link, and I was relieved. So, America hasn't been invaded and taken over by Russia. Good.

Really though, I don't think a lot of Russians will fly to Anaheim for Blizzcon.

first... i hated the blizzcon-kerrigan
then... i actually liked here and was pretty happy with her and thout it would be nice to have her in the game like this

but BAAAAAM, the coverage needs to destroy everything... kerrigan looks ugly again (everything together: looks like a man, short hair(wtf?) not the cool glowing eyes etc)

and if i will like her actual version... blizzard will someday put a far more worse version of her ingame :D

I enjoyed Kerrigan's original character design from BW more than WoL's simply because infestation isn't supposed to be hot or fetishized. I think that it demeans Kerrigan as the Queen Bitch of the Universe when you put her in high heels.

Pandering to the masses.
It hurts and distracts the strong storytelling and characterization that Blizzard is more than capable of producing.

I'm not even going to brace myself for the inevitable mentally-handicapped storyline that will ensue in the following edition to the SC2 series, because I want to be fully blown-away by how much effort Blizzard is putting into make the story face-palm-worthy.

the suit looks really good, but the face and hair look like they were rushed or something. The kerrigan face from before she was turned is much much better drawn.

I just want a TF2-style video for Kerrigan.

Do that, Blizz, and you can make the Marauder shoot up. I wouldn't even care.

I think he means something like a "Meet the Medic" video.


In regards to the picture in the OP, it could just be one of many stages that Kerrigan goes through during the campaign. I doubt she'll stay like that...

Reminds me of Heavy metall Fakk 2.

Awesome game by the way.

And the kerrigan on this picture doesnt look like the ingame kerrigan at all I must say. I prefer the ingame version by a large margin.
